CiteScore: 3.37ℹ
CiteScore is the number of citations received in one year (Y), to documents published in the three previous years (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3), divided by the number of documents published in those same three years (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3).

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP): 2.871ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):2015: 2.871SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR): 1.976ℹSCImago Journal Rank (SJR):2015: 1.976SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.
